Taking to her Instagram story, Christine began her rant with the dramatic sentence “I can’t do this life thing no more.”
Explaining why the 36-year-old said: “Last night, I didn’t get to bed ‘til half past 7 - it wasn’t even last night, it was this morning - because basically my youngest daughter, she’s been getting in my bed.

Rather than just complaining about her lack of sleep though, Christine goes on to elaborate why the night was particularly bad - and the truth is very appropriate for Halloween!
She continued: “Last night she gets in at half past 3, I was still awake - working - she leapt out the bed, screaming, crying because a big f****** spider had ran over her! And it did, I seen it, it ran across the bed and it ran over her so we went up and slept in granny’s room.”

An exasperated Christine then looks earnestly into the camera as she says: “Is there anything I can do because I can’t deal with these spiders”
